So these two paragraphs in the tutorial are flat out wrong? [quote] You should note that I never specified how long the array should be. Instead I simply assigned values to various positions in the array and it just worked. This is an example of a dynamic array. It will grow to whatever size is required. I can determine the size of an array at any time by accessing the array's length property. The length property can also have a value assigned to it to resize the array.
